Perfect for relaxing
When some R&R comes calling, there’s nowhere better than the Algarve coastline! And São Rafael may be one of the best-kept secrets in the region. Framed by dramatic cliffs with crystal-clear water, it's fab for swimming, sunbathing or exploring. You might just want to simply sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings though.
Take a day trip
From São Rafael, you can explore Albufeira’s charming old town. You could also spend the day visiting the stunning Praia da Marinha Beach or taking a boat trip to discover hidden caves! The Ria Formosa Natural Park is nearby too. It’s great for nature lovers who enjoy hiking along scenic coastal trails.
